Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux 2015 - Wine

Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux is produced from grapes from the old vines of the property. Manual, the harvest is carried out at optimum maturity to preserve the natural acidity of the berries. We thus obtain a fresh, balanced wine, pleasant to drink and with a great aptitude for ageing. The aging is then carried out in French oak barrels for 12 months. 1/3 of the barrels are new, 1/3 are one year old and 1/3 are two years old. If the woodiness of French oak is essential because it provides precision and tannic structure, it is essential for us that it is only a support for the expression of the wine and not the reverse. 🍷 In its youth, Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux presents aromas of fresh and crunchy red and black fruits, with subtle grilled and roasted notes. The palate is smooth, fresh and precise. The tannins, present but well integrated, are very persistent. With age, the aromatic evolves towards truffle, animal and menthol notes. We advise you to wait at least 3 to 5 years, but the aging potential can be impressive depending on the vintage. Awards: 92-James Suckling 16.5 - Jancis Robinson Bethane & Dessauve "A tasty moulis, full of character and potential. Particularly ripe fruit, notes of cocoa, tobacco, flint and violet, ample mouth, well structured, with fat, persistent aromas and freshness"
